    That's an idea, indeed. Seen it in the FQA.

    Although I'm quite familiar with PXE, BOOTP and DHCP due to my work
    on Linux embedded systems for ~25y, I'm not when it's related to
    Plan9 and I find the documentation hard to follow -_-;

    It seems to be Plan9-fileserver oriented (obviously).

    In the mean time I was looking at `man 8 fs` and found that the
    fs "check" command could be used to check for a filesystem
    integrity. But it's nowhere to be found on the console (in the
    current state of my research).

    I also wanted to know which filesystems where mounted and couldn't
    find it in the man pages of the commands specified in the
    unix2plan9 wiki page. Thanks to fshalt I found out that the root
    filesystem was hjfs :)

    Even though I've been playing occasionally with Plan9 and then
    9front for ~10y, I still don't feel confident enough for system
    administration.
